Speaker: Giovanni Inchiostro (Univ. Washington, Seattle)

Title: Wall crossings for moduli of stable log-pairs.

Abstract: I will start by presenting the moduli space of pointed stable curves, compactify it using Hassett's weighted curves, and explain how to compare the different compactifications. After, I will explain how these results generalize to arbitrary dimensions. The talk is based on joint work with Ascher, Bejleri, and Patakfalvi.
